Comment:
Avoid this professor at all costs. Worst experience I have had with a professor at the University so far. Class was incredibly frustrating and very limiting. Most of the techniques used with the software are outdated. I felt like I was jumping through hoops for no reason with most of the assignments. The feedback on assignments was very frustrating

Nice guy, and incredibly knowledgeable about multimedia. He does a great job explaining things and provides many helpful resources. Lectures are very long and boring, however, and labs must be done every week. It was an interesting class, but could have been better with some tweaks. Overall, good professor!

Comment:
The classes he teaches are fun, mainly video editing, but he has a very monotone voice and talks literally the entire class which can make it boring. His tests aren't too hard, but there are a lot, both online and in person. He gave very broad rubrics, then nit-picked/graded many subjective flaws of your project in front of the whole class.

You can expect multiple online tests, a project, and in class proficiency exams every week with this course. You also have to have a monthly paid subscription for the entire duration. Every project but one is done with a partner. Basically learning how to use adobe premiere pro and after effects the entire semester. Sometimes I didn't mind Dr. B.

Comment:
I actually enjoy video editing, but Dr. Bronakowski sucked all the fun out of making videos for this class. He gives you NO direction on the video assignments and then goes through them frame-by-frame in front of the class looking for issues. His grades are nit-picky, highly subjective, and are rarely indicated in a rubric.

Lots of work, but an interesting subject. Pretty fun if you make it fun. Don't be afraid to ask for help and GO TO LECTURE AND LAB!

Prefered! He walked around to every group 1by1 in order to give everyone the same amount of potential help. He was always nice and makes time for the students who seem to struggle with the course. I don't know why all of these negative comments were said, because I have nothing bad to say about Dr. B as a person. His tests were hard, know the book.

Psh I had Mr B for a lot. He is cool, but has a case of being too smart to connect with his students. Some classes were soooo hard, too many power points with technical stuff not enough hands on. Another disadvantage is he doesn't really get creativity, so you better have all the technical stuff right in your projects. Hard Exams...

Does not answer questions, very defensive. Expects you to know much of information already. Likes to use the phrase, "This is a graduate level class." I guess to him that means he shoudn't have to help you.

Very easy class if you pay attention in lecture (its hard to pay attention but he tells you exactly how to do the assignment). He is always available to ask questions during lab.

Comment:
He did not teach a thing in class. He made us do work that was not necessary. You will not recieve an A in his class unless you are extraordinary. You can work extremely hard in his class but it doesn't count for anything. If it is necessary that you take him. Make sure you are in a group with someone that is extremely advanced.

Assignments are straight forward. Assignments practically have a checklist. Make sure you do what is asked...its that simple. Prof is always there before and after and is knowledgeable enough to help. Classes are easy A's if you know what your doing. Automation is not a great class and all the profs that teach it get bad reviews for it.

Comment:
Assignments that are subjective can be fairly graded and are by this professor. However, a large portion of one's grade is a wishy-washy final that is OBJECTIVE and a final project with little direction other than "more developed than your assignments" leaving that to the professor's subjectivity.

Easy, straight forward teaching. Test are from his book. I do not know why all the bad comments. I aways see him helping students before and after class. Makes automation simple. You just need half a brain to take it.
